Meaning

Sri Krishnavadhootaru has described the style
of Pooja, Prayer and Meditation in the fourth chapter(Chaturthha Patala)
of Siddhi Prada Granthha Sri RaghavendraTantra in detail. We have to worship
Mantralaya Sri Raghaendrateertharu daily as per the guide lines of:

S R I R A G H A V E N D R A T A N T R A

At least on Thursday it is highly essential
to worship as per Tantra as Thursday is the day of our Gururayaruâ€™s
Birth Day. Very auspicious and important to the Devotees of Mantralaya.
We are sure to acquire the Anugrahaand the desired Phala Praapti by our
Kind Yatiraat. All such holy matters and clues are described in the fourth
chapter.

Dear world devotees please listen carefully
the technique of worship of Rayaru. When Rayaru is pleased with our Seva,
we need not bother though Sri Hari gets angry. Because Rayaru kind Yatiraat
is there to plead and please and thus enable to acquire everything in life.
So Devotees are simply undertaking the Yaatra of Mantralaya and Bhikshaalaya.
Where our :

GREATEST DEVOTEE APPANACHARYARU ATTAINED SAAKSHAATKAARA.

Always engaged in the Pathhana of Sri Raghavendra
Stotra and at the last line of all the Mangalashtakas Bichali Japadakatti
Sri Appanacharyaru has not only said but assured with confidence:

S R I M A T S A T G U RU R A G H A V E N D
R A Y A T I R A A TK U R Y A A T D H R U V A M M A N G A L A

Mantralaya Yatiraat will definitely do good
things to us. This is the Rama Vaakya of the greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti
Sri Appanacharyara. It is as true as the Sun and the Moon are there.

At the outset let us offer all the Pooja materials
Sakala PoojaParikara Samarpana to the Lotus feet of our Mantralaya Yatirajaru
and with great devotion meditate and remember the Kaashyaaya Vastradhaari
Sri Raghavendrateertharu:

The colour of Sri Raghavendrateertharu is
like the colour of the Blue Lotus flower, fine, tall and well developed
personality. The long beautiful hands of our Rayaru are very sacred owing
to the Pooja of Sri MoolaRamadevaru, always doing good things, imparting
Blessings, magnanimously distributing the desired fruits to the devotees
of the world, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and nation. The eyes
of our Sri Mantraatmaru and Mantrapootaru are broad like the leaves of
the Red Lotus flower. The Dwadasha Naamas on the body and the forehead
are in accordance to our Acharya philosophy look very decent and attractive.The
Divine Nature of our Gururayaru is a Boon to all of us. Deva Swabhaava,
not only that Divijadrumoyam Kalpavruksha. Sat with Padmaasana, holding
the holy Dandakaashthha in his hand below the Bhavya Divya Neela Brindavana
in Mantralaya on the bank of Tungabhadra in the long Japa of Sri Hari.

Devotees have to make this scene of our Sri
Raghavendrateertharu permanent in their heart and in their inward eyes
always. Those devotees who remember Rayaru in this way will definitely
acquire the Siddhi - Vruddhi and Success in all the walks of life. Bichali
Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has clearly described all these things still
more detail in Gurustotra and Mangalashtaka.

World devotees are chanting Gurustotra and
Mangalashtaka are enjoying the benefit of Rayara Anugraha and bent with
gratitude to Mantralaya and Bichali Japadakatti. The Pratibhaa(imagination)
Overflowed spontaneously owing to the devotional ecstasy, regard and abundant
affection towards our Sri Raghavendrateertharu. Devotees it is heartening
to know that there is no limit for devotion to our Appanaryaru. Devotional
height was as high as of sky. In Kannada we say Baanettara - Aagasadagala.
So today the devotees are in fond of the bank of Tungabhadra.

Sri Krishnavadhootaru has said in Sri RaghavendraTantra
that we have see Rayaru through inward eyes that Rayaru is wearing Tulasimaala,
Blessing with a smile we call it as Abhaya Mudra, very pleasing to think
and enjoy this sort of Abhaya Mudra of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu
sitting below the Brindavana. We are visible to Rayaru always. Bhaktaanugraha
Premi is always in favour of His Devotees Blessing and Fulfilling the prayers
of the devotees. Avadhootaru says in the kingdom of the devotees Rayaru
is the King. Even to this day Rayaru always moves with his dearest devotee
Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru. It is very clear that Sri Krishnavadhootaru
has completely understood our Sri Appanacharyaru. Though a family man Samsaari,
Pandit Chaturveda Pandit, Vice chancellor of the Open University of Bichali
Japadakatti lead his life like a Yogeendra, that much of Vairaagya Appanarya
had. Avadhootaru has described in Tantra:

We should not forget to remember the manner
Sri Appanacharyaru has surrendered to Rayaru, simply squatted on the floor
in front of Rayaru - Samarpana Bhaava. By remembering this noble scene
devotees will get Siddhi and thus become Siddha Sankalparu.

Sri Krishnavadhootaru understood cordial affectionate
relationship of Appanacharya and Rayaru and followed the same and thus
blossomed Sri RaghavendraTantra.

One more important instruction our Avadhootaru
has said that while remembering Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu we
have to remember the greatest devotee Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru.
So the Quick Siddhi Mahamantra took its birth to Bless the world Devotees
:

Gururaja, Maharaja, Mantralaya Yativarenya,
always worshipped by kings and the Vipras so Rayaru is Gurusarvabhoumaru.Guroottamaru
means the best GURU, Bhaktavatsala, Sri Gururajendra and Yateeshwara with
affection and devotional ecstasy Avadhootaru has prayed to Rayaru.

Remember Rayaru in our heart with perfect
devotion Rayaru is pleased definitely. Rayaru is famous,popular and wellknown
as Karuna Nidhaye Prasiddha Karuna Nidhi. So perform pooja and seva as
per your will and mite Yathha Shaktihi Yathha Bhaktihi. Rayaru will not
ask and demand anything from us either kind or cash. If at all we offer
Rayaru will immediately offer the same to Sri Hari with Samarpana Bhaava.

So Kind Sri Raghavendrateertha please accept
our Seva guide on the right path and Bless always. This is the humble and
honest appeal of Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru in the Siddhi Prada Granthha
Sri RaghavendraTantra in the fourth chapter.
